    Just came across this marvelous video of Wil Wheaton talking to a young girl about being bullied for being nerdy. Here's his amazing answer.

    And here's a post he wrote about it.

    The girl's father wrote that what wasn't clear on camera is that there wasn't a dry eye in the house by the end of Will's answer. I've always found him to be an interesting and thoughtful guy but this raises my opinion of him that much more :slight_smile:

    I'm glad he said that. His character in The Guild is quite the bully. It raises my opinion of Wil as well.

    I saw him at Kansas City comic con last year but not this year. He really is a cool guy in person. Weird thing is I don't really like most of his work...
